[04:51] <FloatingGoat> Hi
[04:51] <holstein> FloatingGoat: hello
[04:52] <FloatingGoat> I'm a very ameturer musician.
[04:52] <holstein> FloatingGoat: cool... welcome to the channel
[04:52] <FloatingGoat> Thanks
[04:52] <FloatingGoat> You ever heard of the mxl 990?
[04:53] <FloatingGoat> Its a mic.
[04:53] <holstein> yup
[04:53] <FloatingGoat> What do you think?
[04:53] <holstein> im not a big mxl fan though
[04:53] <holstein> but, they have some resonably priced gear
[04:53] <holstein> i say, save your money
[04:53] <FloatingGoat> Oh, I'm planning on getting it but I hear you need more equiptment
[04:53] <holstein> for not too much more, you can get quite a bit more quality
[04:54] <holstein> FloatingGoat: a preamp?
[04:54] <holstein> you have a preamp?
[04:54] <FloatingGoat> Sounds nice! What do you recomend?
[04:54] <holstein> FloatingGoat: for a preamp?
[04:54] <FloatingGoat> No I don't. Don't have a mixer.
[04:55] <holstein> you might want to consider a mixer, or a preamp, or some interface with a preamp or preamps on it
[04:55] <FloatingGoat> No for aa good mic. I might go to my local.seco.d hand music store.for a preamp
[04:55] <FloatingGoat> Sorry I'm on my phone
[04:56] <FloatingGoat> I was wonderung what you recomend over the mxl
[04:56] <holstein> the sure KSM27 is a nice mic for the $$
[04:56] <holstein> nice entry level mic
[04:56] <FloatingGoat> How much?
[04:56] <holstein> i like the rode nt1000 i have, and ive heard the rode nt1a's
[04:56] <holstein> FloatingGoat: depends
[04:57] <holstein> i would expect to spend $300 on a decent mic
[04:57] <FloatingGoat> Wow
[04:57] <holstein> otherwise, just get whatever 80 dollar mxl you find thats cheap
[04:57] <FloatingGoat> I'm an am though so I peobs won't even use it right when I get it
[04:58] <holstein> FloatingGoat: do you have a mic on the computer then?
[04:58] <holstein> why not just use what you got?
[04:59] <holstein> if you find a used one of those mics i mentioned, you can resell them for what you pay
[04:59] <FloatingGoat> I want something that sounds good. Well at least the mxl would sound better than what im using now. http://ubuntuone.com/p/1AAK/
[04:59] <holstein> if you buy an MXL, thats a paperweight, or something you have to give away
[04:59] <FloatingGoat> Ill think about it
[05:00] <holstein> sure, i mean, thats what you came here for right ? :)
[05:00] <holstein> FloatingGoat: you might want to consider your environment
[05:00] <FloatingGoat> Yeah and to.talk.about different things.
[05:00] <holstein> think about recording with 2 seperate mics
[05:00] <holstein> or, record the guitar, then the vox
[05:01] <FloatingGoat> That's actually jot a bad idea
[05:01] <holstein> FloatingGoat: if you can, take a look at the way a studio would do it
[05:01] <holstein> if you go to a studio, and pay $100/hour
[05:02] <holstein> they dont put one shite mic near you playing and singing
[05:02] <holstein> they have maybe a few mics on the guitar
[05:02] <FloatingGoat> No I.don't want to do that. I really.just go.with the flow when I play I get into a funk. That doesnt happen wuen I record.seperate
[05:02] <holstein> and one really nice one (or more) on the vox too
[05:02] <holstein> you dont *need* through gear at your problem
[05:02] <holstein> i would suggest trying to get the best results with what you have
[05:03] <holstein> FloatingGoat: so, if you want to record them together
[05:03] <holstein> you need 2 mics
[05:03] <holstein> minimum
[05:03] <FloatingGoat> Yeah thanks man. My buds in another server saaid that it sucked.cause my mic did.
[05:03] <FloatingGoat> Ill.try it.
[05:04] <holstein> ive been wondering if these are worth anything
[05:04] <holstein> http://www.cascademicrophones.com/cascade_V57_Gold.html
[05:04] <holstein> pretty sure they are crap
[05:04] <holstein> FloatingGoat: that mic sounds like the mic is where it is
[05:04] <holstein> and you are doing what you are doing
[05:05] <holstein> that mic will have limits of course
[05:05] <holstein> but, that could be a really nice mic, and you still wouldnt be happy with the results
[05:06] <FloatingGoat> I gotta get better im a noob. And do.you recommend any good.piano.sound files? Loke.for.lmms or rosegarden. Like acoustic piano
[05:06] <holstein> i use pianoteq
[05:06] <holstein> its not free...
[05:06] <holstein> you could ask for soundfont advice in #opensourcemusicians
[05:07] <FloatingGoat> Free as in beer?
[05:07] <holstein> im more of an acoustic guy
[05:07] <holstein> FloatingGoat: pianoteq is not free in either way
[05:07] <FloatingGoat> Howa.mucha monies
[05:07] <FloatingGoat> And ubuntu?
[05:07] <holstein> FloatingGoat: i would suggest trying to find some free soundfonts
[05:08] <holstein> and put that money elsewheres
[05:08] <holstein> i use it on ubuntu
[05:08] <holstein> they have a linux version
[05:08] <FloatingGoat> #opensourcemusicians
[05:08] <holstein> sure... those guys know more about soundfonts than i
[05:09] <FloatingGoat> Oops
